OS/OT Students to Join SCYP

We just learned that three students from the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy (OS/OT) at the University of Toronto will be joining the SCYP team in the fall to help us tackle some of our key research questions. These students will be exposed to a variety of research techniques that range from the application of ethnographic methods to the design of usability evaluations. This will all be possible thanks to our participation in the OCT 1220Y Graduate Research Project Course, coordinated by Professor Heather Carnahan, which provides MScOT students with practical research experience. We are definitely looking forward to working with Laura, Naomi and Persis!

Here is our preliminary student-project match table:

Student	Project Title
Laura Kaptein	Tactile Feedback for Practical Outdoor Navigation
Naomi Mitchell	GPS-Based Navigation for the Blind: An Evaluation of Everyday Use
Persis Leung	Head Tracking with the Wii Remote: A Comparative Study
